The Alameda County Sheriff’s office is investigating another
murder today, it’s second in four days, according to Sgt. Scott Dudek.

At around 10:40 p.m. Sunday night, deputies responded to a call
reporting gunshots fired in the area of Princeton Avenue and A Street in the
unincorporated area of Hayward. A vehicle riddled with bullets was located,
and about 45 minutes later an unconscious man was found in the 300 block of
Smalley Avenue, according to Dudek.

The man was identified as 27-year-old Marco Velasquez, of Hayward.
It appears that Velasquez died of gunshot wounds.

According to Dudek, the Velasquez had no gang ties and no criminal
record. “It appears to be random,” he said.

Investigators have no suspect information at this time.
This is the second random homicide in four days, Dudek said.
Authorities are still searching for information in a shooting that killed a
man pumping gas in the unincorporated area of Ashland on Thursday.

The man was reportedly pumping gas at a station on Mission and
Lewelling boulevards around 4:30 when he was approached by two Hispanic men
in a Plymouth or Chrysler “soccer mom-type” van, Dudek said.

A sketch of the two men, as well as a surveillance video may be
released to the public on Tuesday, Dudek said.
